After only 3 years of use, my 7.1 cu ft Haier has died. Anyone else have a similar issue? Debating whether or not I should buy another Haier. My gut tells me no I should not, however looking for info from other users. Thanks, opXus

I put my 3rd keg into my new keezer, and am having some trouble. I have PIN LOCK kegs, and when i slide the air disconnect onto the keg, it goes on ok, however i cannot get the collar to "lock" on. So I cannot carb or serve. If I hold the disconnect down I can get beer through the line...

Question for you experts out there, this is my first wine/cider. I have done 15-20 beers or so. Started with fresh apple cider and added 5 lbs of sugar. Added campden tabs, waited 24 hrs, then added Brewers Best Cider House Yeast. My question is this.... it has been about 48 hrs after...

Hello all, I am new to winemaking. I have been making beer for awhile and would like to try something in addition. I will have the ability to get FRESH pressed apple cider in october. Just looking for some info. I read the sticky about apfelwein and just had some questions. 1) With using...

So I brewed a rather standard hefeweizen, and made a simple 1L starter, using Wyeast 3068 Weihenstephan. I ended up with about 5G of wort into the fermenter. Added the yeast starter, temperature around 70 degrees, and within 24 hours I had a rather significant blowoff. This stuff is insane. I...

So I brewed a Saison about 3 weeks ago, and today I added the mango that I planned on adding. Well I always ferment for 4 weeks in a carboy. Well for some reason I thought the opening on the carboy was larger than it actually is. Hopefully this beer turns out alright as I was forcing...

So I decided that I wanted to make a big beer. I have maybe 8 total batches under my belt. 1 of them extract, the last 7 being all grain. (yes im a beginner) The largest beer i made ended up around 6.5%. (sorry I forget the OG). I wanted something big so 11/10 I brewed up a nice belgian tripel...

I plan on brewing a Belgian Tripel in the not too distant future. If I brew and place wort in the primary and add the yeast, then wait a few days to a week and then add in candi sugar, how to I measure the OG? I mean I know how to measure the gravity, however how do you calculate the ABV if...

OK so I brewed my first AG. The ABV seems to be low by about 1%. Hopefully you can tell me this is just a rookie mistake and can tell me where i went wrong. Brewed the Caribou Slobber (AG) kit from northern brewer. Roughly 10lbs of grain. Forget the quantities (forgot to write down) of...

Has anyone dealt with NYBrewSupply? Just curious. Looking to buy a wort chiller due to high cost of copper. Seems like it may be about the same money with less hassle. I AM NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS COMPANY. Other suggestions for where to buy would be appreciated. Thanks, Opus X

Anyone have any experience with NYBrewSupply? http://www.nybrewsupply.com/ They have what appears to be some decent priced wort chillers. With the prices i'm finding for 3/8" copper tubing it seems to make sense to just buy one. For a 3/8" x 25' copper chiller with garden hose adapters...
